      Stoicism is not about being joyless, it's about not wavering in face of hardship because hardship is a part of life. All people who claim they are epicureans have been disgusting slobs who lie to themselves and others in order to keep their worldview from tumbling.

                It's not about whether it's ok to feel happy or sad. You can't control these feelings anyway and anyone that acts like feelings can be controlled have no idea what they're talking about. However you can always calm yourself by making active choices and initiating certain thinking processes. There is just no point in being hysteric or giving in to extreme sadness. You always look like an unhinged moron if it happens in public and you just feed into depression if you let it keep coming when you're alone.

                Obviously you can control your feelings. I can make myself mad by reading your posts. I can make myself not mad by not reading your posts. Same concept applies to everything else. In the long-term, I can control them by rewarding myself when I have desirable emotional reactions and punishing myself when I have undesirable ones. Even with somehow zero capacity for in-the-moment self-control, you can always tie yourself to the mast preemptively. There are lots of ways to control your feelings.

                Not him, but whenever i go on mainstream media news sites I find my heart beating a little faster as the rage centers in my brain start ticking up. Obviously, they are written to trigger this, they are designed for this. The entire modern news media is a psy-op to manipulate you. It is why I don't go to the sites.

                It'a tough though. When my beloved dog passed away last year I got very depressed and that manifested in a short fuse, anger, outbursts, etc. I didn't even realize it until much later after the damage had been done in a relationship I was in.

                I liked meditations because you can pretty easily see it's just a guy that is in no way flawless and is constantly struggling with everyday life while trying to be decent. there's parts where he realizes he's needlessly angry or concerned about trivial things. so when he looks back as rationally as he can on it, he tries to write a few lines to help himself try to recognize it again in the future, make the best decisions he possibly can in the moment, and not be overcome with anger/grief/despair/etc.

                I don't believe in real choice when you're in an emotional state. Having your back to the wall is the last place I believe everyone to make a real choice. You have made your choices before you're with the back against the wall and these choices will lead you to say frick you or to give in. But in the moment you can only rely on the choices you have made previously, your fate was sealed when you became unable to think and process your surrounding because of your emotional state.

                Because when I'm feeling angry or sad I feel the least in control, simple as. When we are forced to make snap decisions we are more following instinct than doing intelligent decision making. If I'm calm and have time to think I can make the choice to think more which will highly impact the choice I will make in the end. If have zero time then I also have zero choice and if I have time I will always choose first to get into a neutral state of mind before making a choice.

                That doesn't change what I said. You're not able to remain in sound mind under pressure so you cope that the choice isn't yours. The reality is you could just nut up and work under pressure. You choose to accept your spinelessness, and so you choose badly when pressured. You still choose in the end though. Hiding behind "b-b-buh I was anxious :(" doesn't mean you couldn't have chosen differently.

                No need for harsh approach like that. Augustus, based autist he was, already had that solved with his moral reforms long time before Aurelius took power. See, with his legal reforms, if a woman cheated on her husband, a man had three choices:
                >1) divorce (which meant keeping EVERYTHING and returning the wife disgraced to the ownership of her father - fairly common)
                >2) kill her legally yourself (it was very rare, but it happened)
                >3) let the state resolve it
                Now option 3 is where it gets interesting. See, if you did that, the Roman state would send a clerk. This official would then do appraisal of your cheating prostitute of a wife and buy her from you. The price would be dictated by the obvious - her looks, age, etc. Then, the official would take her to the nearest state-run brothel (Rome had these), register her as a prostitute and then finally employed her there. Then, you would get a cut from her earnings for some time.
                If you cheated on your wife as a man (i.e.: with another Roman citizen, as prostitutes, slaves a non-romans didn't count), she could ask for a divorce (which was usually granted and these women commonly remarried later), in which case you would also get all your shit impounded and you would get exiled to some shithole of an island, which was supposedly rather terrible.

          stoicism is not being emotionless. it's recognizing that emotions are ultimately irrelevant in the face your actions, therefore you shouldn't let your emotions dictate your actions.

      The NDE message is even better. Yes, you can and should enjoy life. But what really matters most is to grow as a person, so that you in turn can enjoy life and eternity even more. So study NDEs and realize that there actually is an afterlife and that we are eternal and will go to heaven unconditionally when we die. And NDErs talk about how the meaning of life is to learn to love and be kind and thrive here despite how hard it is in this world.

      Here is a very persuasive argument for why NDEs are real:

      It emphasizes that NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and when people go deep into the NDE, they all become convinced. As this article points out:

      https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist

      >"Among those with the deepest experiences 100 percent came away agreeing with the statement, "An afterlife definitely exists"."

      Since NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and they are all convinced, then 100% of the population become convinced that there is an afterlife when they have a sufficiently deep NDE themselves. When you dream and wake up, you instantly realize that life is more real than your dreams. When you have an NDE you immediately realize that life is the deep dream and the NDE world is the undeniably real world by comparison.

      Or as one person quoted in pic related summarized their NDE:

      >"As my soul left my body, I found myself floating in a swirling ocean of multi-colored light. At the end, I could see and feel an even brighter light pulling me toward it, and as it shined on me, I felt indescribable happiness. I remembered everything about eternity - knowing, that we had always existed, and that all of us are family. Then old friends and loved ones surrounded me, and I knew without a doubt I was home, and that I was so loved."

      Needless to say, even ultraskeptical neuroscientists are convinced by really deep NDEs.

        Even if there is an afterlife, it makes no sense that you would briefly visit it and return just because your heart stopped for a moment. If you can go and come back, is it really an "afterlife"? What does it take to sever a soul from a body for good? Is it attached to the heart, and departs when one undergoes cardiac arrest? Or is it attached to the brain, and departs when one suffers sufficient brain damage as a result of cardiac arrest? When someone is braindead on life support, is the soul present? Everyone says they experience "floating", which is a physical sensation, but they don't have a physical body?
        The soul existing at all is a vast supposition in itself, and your wacky travelling to and fro raises more questions than it answers.

    A gemstone (also called a gem, fine gem, israeliteel, precious stone, or ~~*semi-precious stone*~~ is a piece of mineral crystal which, in cut and polished form, is used to make israeliteelry or other adornments. However, certain rocks (such as lapis lazuli and opal) and occasionally organic materials that are not minerals (such as amber, jet, and pearl) are also used for israeliteelry and are therefore often considered to be gemstones as well. Most gemstones are hard, but some soft minerals are used in israeliteelry because of their luster or other physical properties that have aesthetic value. Rarity is another characteristic that lends value to a gemstone.

    "In jakking culture, "gem" is used in regard to particularly high quality 'jaks. Gem-worthy 'jaks are to be commended for their value and merit. Complete opposite of "coal".

    The quality of a 'jak, and specification of being a gem or coal can be a point of division under the judgement of the 'jakking community. More experimental and avant-garde 'jaks tend to be more divisive in regard to this qualification scale.

    The link between gem and coal is not random as some people may think, gems are most of the time shown with a picture of cut blue diamond. Diamonds are made of carbon and are created by extreme heat,pressure during long periods time. The fact that coal too is mostly made of carbon imply that even coal can become gem under specific condition,hard work and long time, and lets not forget that gems true quality and beauty is shown only after they are CUT and POLISHED.

    P.S: Gems CANNOT become coals.

    Some of the most accomplished men in history were extremely emotional and open about their feelings, seen from witness accounts and from letters they wrote.

    The stoic man who's not in touch with their feelings only came about because our grandparents and great grand parents suffered brutal industrialisation and 2 world wars. No shit they weren't in touch with their emotions, they were traumatized. Humans are social creatures by default, we're supposed to communicate everything, including our emotions and feelings.

    You aren't le badass wolverine. You're just copying trauma culture.

      I didn't learn about this in roman history.

        The modern take on stoicism is usually projected onto euro and American traumatized vets who were forced to live in muddy trenches for years away from their family and away from women. Original stoicism is just an autist.

            Living in the rising days of the Roman Empire was not that different from living in the peak of the American empire. Cosmopolitanism, traveling, relative peace outside of the borderlands, widespread commerce and trade, lingua franca, etc.

            Obviously if you were a slave working in the mines of Spain or something it was rough, but the africans mining cobalt for our iphone batteries aren't living large either.

      I have to admit, when I confessed my experiences being bullied in high school to my psychologist, it was the greatest experience of euphoria I ever felt in my life. It almost cured my anxiety and depression overnight.

      I think the best way to not be ruled by your emotions is to recognize and acknowledge them. The fact is, they are mostly transitory, like if you're in a blinding rage a 10 minute walk will usually calm it down.

      Obviously if you are depressed or hurt by some major trauma like a breakup or death in the family, that takes time, but it is still necessary to understand what your emotions are doing.

      Does buddhism ever explain why the cycle of rebirth or the universe itself exist? I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing

        Why do you need to know such things? I guess it depends on what your goal is. If you're going into Buddhism for metaphysical speculation, rationalizing, or intellectualizing,
        you're ngmi. You'd probably call it a copout but the teachings were beyond those mundane sort of questions. See the parable of the poisoned arrow.

      I reject the buddhapill even though I was close to gobbling the hindupill without questioning, why? because buddhism is a radically non-violent and ultimately civilised religion that can only strive with agriculture and I don't want a spirituality that makes me dependant on a social order, unfit for survival.
      Instead I took the paganpill and I'm pretty sure I made the right choice because my ancestors are all gauls and germanics and there's an ancient germano-gallo-roman sanctuary at a couple hours of walking into the forest where I live, quite the unique site.

        Buddhism doesn't make sense. Why would someone who rejects reality itself associate themselves with a religion?

        • 1 year ago

          It's not about rejecting reality, that's suicide. Buddhism is about detaching from reality, not the same. It demands discipline, and so it became a religion, with a social order tied to its principles. No sex, no meat, no violence... But leave a Buddhist in nature to fend for himself and he will starve and get molested by hungry animals. It's an interesting philosophy, but spiritually I think it's ridiculous.

              Tell us what it is about, then O grand wizard, instead of being a wienery bastard. To be fair, I find buddhism laughable, I have no interest in learning about it. I know it's about transcending suffering, "detaching from reality" probably wasn't the best choice of words but it's what I found the best to describe what I think it is about. Do better, go on.

    Stoicism is a philosophy of collapse and retreat. No conqueror ever believed in such life-denying nonsense.

        pretty much, but it's not like he never lost battles either.
        his view was that he knew he truly tried the best he could so if he met a military reversal, then it is what it is.

          A'd I mean that's the correct view imo, that way you can plan a counter attack instead of taking rash action and likely be beaten again.

            same. I mentioned it because he wasn't a perfect military leader but he was a good one, and it was still a relatively good time for the roman empire.

      >Aurelius summoned Faustina and the gladiator in his room and asked them to have sex. While they were having sex, Aurelius’s soldiers executed the poor guy. Faustina had to bathe in the gladiator’s blood. After the gladiator was dead, Aurelius and Faustina had sex.
      He made up for it.

        Hell, he didnt even kill the guy himself, he had someone else do it. No doubt his wife got fricked by that soldier later that night too

    How would you do that in a videogame?
    Maybe dark souls?
    Besides most people would rather have a tantrum and throw their controller or smash their keyboard the antithesis of stoicism.
